Chambers Collective Redress & Class Actions 2025 Global Practice Guide

Sam Lieberman, Co-Head of Sadis & Goldberg LLP’s Litigation Practice was invited by Chambers & Partners to contribute a Chapter to the Chambers Collective Redress & Class Actions 2025 Practice Guide – New York.   In a “Trends and Developments” article, Sam, and his co-authors Clay Hane and Ben Hutman, address important new developments, including:  (1) The ruling in Shanda Games that the Fraud-on-the-Market presumption of reliance applies to minority shareholders who forcibly sold shares in a freeze-out merger; (2) the increased use of New York Article 77 proceedings for collective relief for investors in Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) and similar structured products; and (3) the surge in Class Actions involving Digital Asset theft and fraud.  In a “Law and Practice” article, Sam, Clay and Ben provide an overview of the New York State and Federal class action procedures, addressing key differences and recent SEC policy changes that could impact class actions.
